Will Liberals Be Enraged That This White Canadian Faces Deportation?

It’s hard to check out the mainstream media without finding a sob story about a family being ripped about because of President Trump’s “cruel” enforcement of our existing immigration laws. These stories usually leave out the part about how the illegal alien being deported has felony convictions, but that’s how they tug at the heartstrings of liberals. Liberals are enraged by these stories that never seemed to run when Obama was president and always feature “immigrants” from Latin America. I wonder if they will be similarly angry about this white Canadian who may face deportation.

I actually covered this story last year. John Greenwood was, or maybe still is, a student at Cornell University. He is a Canadian citizen trying to get his education at a place where they know how to pronounce words like “about” and “sorry.” Last September he was involved in an altercation with a black student that became a hate crime even though it appears the black guy started the fight.

Greenwood claims that he wasn’t even involved in the fight and nobody can prove he was, but he was arrested and charged with attempted assault in the third degree as a hate crime, aggravated harassment in the second degree and criminal mischief, all Class A misdemeanors.

Because of that hate crime enhancement if he is convicted, Greenwood would most likely be deported back to Hoserland. The Cornell Daily Sun reports that Greenwood’s attorney was in court asking the judge to dismiss the case.

Attorney Ronald P. Fischetti, “warned that Greenwood would be deported to Canada if found guilty and contended that he cannot get a fair trial in Ithaca.”

In asking Ithaca City Court Judge Richard M. Wallace to dismiss the case in the interest of justice, Fischetti said Greenwood has been “severely punished for crimes he did not commit” by being “decried in the press as a hate-crime offender” and being forced to put his studies at Cornell on hold.

As far as I can tell, the black “victim” entered a house that doesn’t belong to him and started a fight. Somebody, maybe Greenwood or perhaps another person, called the black student the N-word and punched him in the face. We used to call this drunken frat boys being drunken frat boys, but now it’s apparently a hate crime.

Whether Greenwood punched the black student or not doesn’t really matter in exposing the liberal hypocrisy over immigration. Here is a hardworking immigrant trying to make a better life for himself who is only charged with misdemeanors, not felonies, facing possible deportation. If he was Mexican and accused of shooting a woman to death, liberals would be up in arms over this. Where is the outcry over this white immigrant who, as Nancy Pelosi stated, makes “America more American?”

Unfortunately for Greenwood, the liberals will not be rushing to his defense because he is white and from a country that doesn’t smell like an open sewer. If he were gay or transgender, than maybe the Outrage Brigade would come to his rescue, but a straight white guy from Canada? Not a chance.
